Treatment

Heliotropium fruticosum Linnaeus View in CoL , Systema Naturae, ed. 10, 2: 913. 1759.

["Habitat in Jamaica."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 188 (1762). RCN: 1059.

Lectotype (Johnston in Contr. Gray Herb. 81: 67. 1928; Nash & Moreno in Gómez Pompa, Fl. Veracruz 18: 84. 1981): Browne, Herb. Linn. No. 179.10 ( LINN) .

Current name: Heliotropium fruticosum L. View in CoL ( Boraginaceae ).

Note: Johnston clearly treated Browne material in LINN as the type but did not distinguish between sheets 179.10 and 179.11. However, they may well be part of a single gathering so Johnson is accepted as having typified the name (Art. 9.15), with Nash & Moreno having restricted the choice to sheet 179.10.
